This one definitely isn't off clover and it's not under a black light. It's freshly drawn comb on black plastic foundation... i didn't believe it at first! i thought it was the light or my eyes playing tricks on me with the plastic foundation but i took some of the nectar out of the comb with my hivetool and sure enough - it's green! i don't know how it tastes though. I'd certainly be interested if any one else has experienced this

Brazillian pepper honey here has an almost florescent yellow-green color to it and is really cool looking when you harvest the frames. I have no idea what your forage is down there but I'm anxious to hear if anyone has an answer for you. Can you post a pic?

Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all.

In New York they got some red Honey came from a factory that was making Marciano Cherry's I also have seen Green candied Cherry's,Do you guys down there have any Local food industrymaking anything with a sweet green syrup?? In New York what they found, was the bees found the red syrup that was leaking from a Vat and this became their Main diet,I believe the factory had to clean up the overflow of syrup.Just a thought from the states.

seriously though, there is no industry in the area that could be contributing green syrup - and this is something that has only started over the last week and a half so it's something that has only just started flowering. The only thing i can put it down to so far is prickly pears...

That is a possibility - definitely - but the colour is quite consistent and the liquid is quite thick. I guess it could be syrup that's thickening as the moisture is evaporating off it. Do they normally store water in comb though?

Man I wish I could grow artichokes here! It looks like they do well down under (even if they do grow up-side-down).
